00:00 PHIVOX confirms rain from thunderstorms over Negros Islands' Canlaon volcano generated
00:06 volcanic sediment flows, or lahars, as seen in social media posts.
00:10 Moderate to heavy rain from the thunderstorms mixed with debris from the volcano were observed
00:14 on Wednesday, June 5, producing lahars on Canlaon's southern slopes.
00:19 The lahar then deposited gray, cohesive mud, plant debris, and gravel in at least four
00:24 waterways.
00:27 PHIVOX strongly recommends increased vigilance and readiness of communities along rivers
00:31 draining southern Canlaon as more thunderstorms might bring heavy rain to Negros Island.
00:37 Mount Canlaon erupted last Monday, June 3, its first eruption in nearly six and a half
00:42 years.
00:43 This prompted PHIVOX to place the volcano under alert level 2, which means there is
00:47 increasing unrest and further explosive eruptions are possible.
